Raspberry Buttercream Frosting

I needed some cupcakes for a church function and decided I wanted raspberry. No apparent reason... but I was inspired to do something with raspberries. The cupcakes were for some 10 year old girls so I wasn't too worried about making the cupcake itself anything fancy. But I wanted the frosting to be 100% yummy and beautiful. Enter raspberry buttercream.

I ended up using a simple cake mix for the cupcakes themselves. But then I filled them with a delicious raspberry filling and topped them with this raspberry buttercream and I LOVED the frosting. Even my husband, who NEVER touches my cupcakes (he's not a fan of cake or frosting... how sad!) ate two of these. The frosting was that delicious. And it doesn't hurt that it's a pretty pink color.

Welcome!

As you may have noticed, our blog's URL doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. "Zum Fressen" is German for "to eat." We grew up with a German Mom who cooked dinner every night, from scratch. We all grew up with a love to cook, but an even greater love to eat! We originally started this blog as a place to post all our family favorite recipes... the ones we would call eachother for every other week. We wanted them all in one place. Since then, it's turned into a place to share our favorite new recipes, too. We sort through all the recipes we come across and post only those that worked well and that we LOVE. Hopefully, you'll find a new favorite, too. Thanks for stopping by!
